It looks like it's been scrubbed from every official 60 Minutes page now. It's only a 30-second promo but here it is if you didn't get a chance to see it.

"While the biggest and most influential [U.S.] news orgs are doing great reporting ... their politics and gov't coverage often feels like biz as usual. "Journalism should be communicating the still-raging five-alarm fire that’s burning up our nation’s purpose and history." -- @sulliview.bsky.social

I hate what Republicans have done to the USA.

It must be so hard to come up with something even more evil every day...

It's difficult to tell whether the hatred, insecurity, or mendacity rules him more. Fred Trump and Roy Cohn have a lot to answer for, but so do the U.S. media and corporate leaders who enabled Donald Trump.

@lindaclassical.bsky.social, it was such a pleasure to hear “Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella” by the Arturo Delmoni Quartet earlier. I look forward to the #WETAClassical #Chanukah, #Advent, and #Christmas musical selections every holiday season. weta.org/fm/playlists

Hearing this is payback for Colorado not honoring Trump/Peters ‘pardon’

Jane Austen was born 250 years ago today, and I invite you to share the most Jane Austen things you've done (so far) in your life. Mine include joining in the dancing of the era (reels and so forth), though I was dancing in places such as Buffalo and Takoma Park, not Bath. Your turn! #JaneAusten250

Trump Officials Celebrated With Cake After Slashing Aid. Then People Died of Cholera. www.propublica.org/article/usai...

Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

Happy Hanukkah to all our friends of Jewish faith! 🕎

Fiddler on the roof, but with ICE agents playing the part of Cossacks. I know people think of Fiddler as a heartwarming story about a funny man doing Ya-ba-dibba-dibbas, but it's literally about pogroms like this

For the first night of #Hanukkah, #WETA Classical’s #ChoralShowcase is featuring George Frideric Handel’s Judas Maccabaeus, which “recounts the story of a successful revolt against religious persecution by an occupying power.” Tune in or stream at 9 p.m. EDT. weta.org/fm/features/...

This came out as part of a lawsuit challenging a Trump administration order to exclude certain immigrant children from Head Start www.aclu.org/cases/washin...

More pages of that list of words forbidden from being used by Head Start programs:

According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs. Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵

Today, Dec 7th, is the birthday of Stephanie Marie Beatty. She died at 22 in a 2023 domestic violence shooting in Brockton, Massachusetts. Stephanie loved children, relished time spent working at a local daycare, and was pursuing Early Childhood Education certification at the time of her death.

Sorry/not sorry for the image: Heather Cox Richardson really strips the #Trump administration bare here: the racism, the corruption, the lies. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPKt...

This morning it occurred to me that this year the Christmas decorations at the #WhiteHouse should go somewhere where human beings are not referred to as "garbage" and "retarded." There is no peace on Earth and especially not in the Trump administration. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Bolsonaro and Trump both attempted coups. Bolsonaro got 27 years and Trump got a presidency.

It's hard to describe how I feel every time this happens. I'm so overwhelmingly angry. We HAVE the ability to vaccinate virtually everyone who can take the vaccines so that herd immunity works in so many communities. A horrible way of dying was almost gone forever. It's not fair. It's not fair.

It is so wonderful to wake up to @WETAClassical and its hosts, including weekday morning host Linda Carducci. 🎼 weta.org/fm

Here's the full list of all the CEOs and Bill Ackman-types who were delighted to dine with two murderers, MBS (Khashoggi, etc.) and Trump (boats, USAID, etc.) While you read this, I'm heading to Lowe's to see if they have any pitchforks left www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/u...

I've known Catherine Lucey for 26 years, since I covered the 1999 mayor's race for the PDN and she covered it for Penn's student paper. She is, quite, simply, the best in the business, who also got under Trump's skin in his first term. Trump is the real pig here www.inquirer.com/politics/tru...

Remember Jamal Khashoggi.

100% And the Epstein scandal at its heart is about elite impunity and rich people literally screwing ordinary Americans with no consequences. There is a direct through line between this and oligarchs and elites stripping gov't for parts, making life unaffordable, cutting health care, etc.

Here’s a gift link (no paywall) to the article, “Catholic bishops condemn ‘indiscriminate mass deportation’ in rare statement”: wapo.st/448fDw6

NEW: US Catholic bishops just took their first step since Trump returned to act collectively in support of immigrants. The new program “You Are Not Alone" lays out ways for Catholics across the country to provide direct aid & solidarity to immigrants. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

MORE: There have been many individual Catholic bishop statements about immigration enforcement but no one collective statement/vote. Today the bishops will vote on a rare "special message" on the topic -- it needs 2/3 to pass and the draft is not public. Watch here for updates

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

“Bible teaching, he noted, is to have ‘special care for strangers, aliens and sojourners.’ ‘It is not rocket science, but the Word of God’…” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/11/u...

Me, wisely: "But *his* emails"

Anyone know what’s going on with non-fiction book publishing?

Other folks have said it, but let me just note that: (1) lots of talented, must-read journalists have been let go from their jobs over the last year (2) millions of Americans are abandoning current media outlets and looking for new alternatives Seems like a sure-fire business opportunity here?

For those of you who want to follow the livestreamed memorial service for primatologist Jane Goodall, taking place at the Washington National Cathedral as I type this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQOV... #JaneGoodall

Let a single person feed their family with food stamps when they don't "deserve" the benefit and Republicans will be filled with such rage that they'll take away those benefits from millions of others. Meanwhile the administration is doing this: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/b...

To be clear: the deal they voted on to move forward last night still needs to be formally voted on in the Senate and House. If the eight are your senators, they should be hearing from you this morning!

Trump's pardon of allies who helped him try to subvert the 2020 election is important. It's a permission slip--no, it's an encouragement, even an order--to allies to be ready to try to subvert the elections in 2026, and 2028. politi.co/3WN7A3T

You really shouldn’t be allowed to pardon people who helped you with your crime

Predatory capitalism can only thrive on fear and want, which is why we don’t have a dignity society. 🥹
